From the hills of Italy comes the latest technology in skin rejuvenation- the Affirm CO2 laser! (also known as SmartXide DOT). We are excited to be the first dermatology practice in Denver to have this new fractional laser. CO2 lasers have always been considered the “gold standard” for skin resurfacing. AffirmCO2 fractional laser delivers the benefits of CO2 laser without the long downtime and risks of older technology. Fractional CO2 laser is considered the biggest laser breakthrough in the last ten years. Results are much more dramatic than Fraxel laser. Tell us how much downtime you can tolerate- whether it is 1 day, 3 days, or 5 days- and we will choose the right settings for you. You will love the look and feel of your skin after treatment with AffirmCO2. Give us an hour and we’ll give you ten years!

December 4, 2008 – 11:13 am - I’m embarrassed by my tattoo- how do I get rid of it?
Tattoos have become extremely popular as a way for people to express themselves. Unfortunately, we see many people who regret their decision to get a tattoo. Often, the regret starts soon after the tattoo was placed. For others, the tattoo serves as a reminder from a distant part of their life that they would rather forget. So you are certainly not alone in wanting to get your tattoo removed.
We offer a non-judgmental, discreet approach to every patient. Prior to treatment, we counsel patients in detail about the tattoo removal process. We offer the Medlite C6 laser, a high-powered, state of the art laser. Some colors (especially black) respond better than others to laser treatment. Multiple treatment sessions are required, but those committed to getting rid of their tattoo can achieve outstanding results with minimal scarring. Another option for smaller tattoos is to simply cut out the tattoo, which gets rid of the entire tattoo at once and leaves a surgical scar. A final option for some people is to over-tattoo the tattoo with a new tattoo. Laser treatment can make this easier, since the lighter the tattoo, the easier it will be to cover with a new tattoo.
October 15, 2008 – 3:37 pm - Testimonial: Scars on the face, whether from acne, chicken pox, or other injury, cause a great deal of anxiety and distress for many people
“It is of my own accord and with great pleasure that I write this recommendation letter for Dr. Richard Ort. I was very much impressed and pleased with the professionalism and skill that Dr. Ort handled my needs at the Dermatology & Laser Institute.”
“I had a small, circular scar on my forehead from chicken pox as a child. I looked into removing it, as I give many public presentations. In my initial evaluation, Dr. Ort took great care with me, and answered all of my questions (which I had many of), even some questions that I asked multiple times. I realized that any surgical procedure (of any size, even as small and non-invasive as mine) takes the professionalism, technique, and skill of the doctor. This couldn’t be truer of Dr. Ort. He made me feel comfortable on the day of my procedure and performed it with great skill. I am very much pleased with the results.”
Sincerely, Paul
